Write this as an equation, where \"what\" means the unknown, which is x:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "75% of what is 1.25
\n" ); document.write( ".75 * x = 1.25\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So to find x, divide both sides by .75
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28.75x%29%2F.75+=+1.25%2F.75\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+1.25%2F.75+=+125%2F75+=+5%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check it just to be sure I didn't embarrass myself (again!) to the whole world by making a dumb error:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "75% of 5/3 is 1.25 True or false? True! It checks!!\r
